I'm not asking if it's acceptable, I already accept it, I'm just putting the question out there for others to consider. I'm good friends with a gay couple in my church who regularly attend and are active.

OK, let's go along with this newspaper for a sec and pretend that homosexuality is a sin (which I don't think it is!). Then shouldn't they have about 1000 different polls? Can you be a gambler and a Christian? Can you cheat on your spouse and be a Christian? Can you watch porno every day and be a Christian? Can you wish your boss would get hit by a bus and be a Christian? etc etc etc.... Maybe then they'd see how silly it is to constantly be judging people over things that aren't their damn business.

Now, seeing as I DONT think homosexuality is inherently sinful, at least not any more inherently sinful than heterosexuality, I don't even know how to respond to this poll

the folks who look at it as a disorder or perversion of sexuality, that there is no homosexuality, nor is there heteroseuxality, just sexuality, and if you truly loved god you wouldn't be afflicted with such an intrinsic disorder.

and once again, thats not a question of possibility its a question of acceptance

u2dem answered her own question when she said she knew an active and openly gay couple in her church - its therefore possible, whether you accept it or not is a different ball game

but taking the point of view of those who would call homosexuality unnatural (which is different than an abomination), the gay couple who participate at their church aren't true Christians for they cannot be if they have same sex attraction.
